Samson nightmare and Cain forced to intervene as Emmerdale spoilers reveal what happens next

| Deputy Soaps Editor Published October 14, 2026 7:45pm Big Samson news divides the Dingles – and it gets worse (Picture: ITV / Metro) War was waged up at Wishing Well in Emmerdale as the imminent return of Samson (Sam Hall) threatens to tear Dingle clan apart forever. Battle lines were well and truly drawn after Moira (Natalie J Robb) invited son Matty Barton (Ash Palmisciano) to live with her and Cain up at the cottage, unaware that Samson was due for release. Sam (James Hooton) and Lydia (Karen Blick) were left with little choice but to spill the beans to Moira, who was appalled at the prospect of not only having to renege on the offer she made to Matty but also to have to live under the same roof as Samson given what he did. Samson, as viewers will recall, fell into bad company when he started hanging out with Josh, who proceeded to torment Matty with transphobic abuse. Josh later pushed Samson into Matty, who was holding a kitchen knife at the time while on duty at The Hide. Samson was accidentally stabbed and, coerced by Josh, he reported Matty and claimed he deliberately attacked him.

Elsewhere, Sadie King (Patsy Kensit) upped the ante in her bid to try and destroy Ruby and Caleb Miligan (Beth Cordingly and William Ash) on behalf of Joe Tate (Ned Porteous), revealing her plan to seduce Caleb.
